TOPIC: UTC: Updated Auction Sponsor List for 2022 & 2023!

UTC: Auction Sponsor List for 2022 & 2023 Now Open! 1 year 8 months ago #1

Jeff explicitly asked for us not to arrange or set up auctions tied to pre-orders until regular orders are closed. It cannibalizes sales of current year tokens.

Can the sponsor make any adjustments to the auction? Or is it strictly that the sponsor gains the random URs and chance at GT?

I ask because this past year I ran my auction so that I could keep the patron benefits and a few Rings and PYPs. Obviously, I put in much more than ~$500, but I wanted those things locked rather than fighting for them in auctions.

It actually makes more sense if you DONT allow modifications, but then I wonder why not just add 'all 9 or 10 random URs' as another thing to bid on in your auctions instead of this sponsor thing?

Excellent question and will add to the main section! In terms of the format, all auctions run through UTC make all standard items available for bidding on it’s the Random URs and Golden Tickets then left for the Sponsor. This is also true in that all auctions will follow Lightning format to ensure a good continuous flow from one auction to the next.

Thanks and will verify with Jeff on this as do not want to do anything outside the bounds! Was only meaning to line up sponsors and would not run any preorders until the official window opens up.

Utaku, as I've mentioned in other posts I support your efforts on these auctions.

However, the fact that you are not holding back one of the random UR's or anything to help cover your shipping costs not to mention your time and efforts to do this for the community are going to make people scrutinize you very closely, rightfully so. It's not every day that someone comes along trying to provide a service to others with minimal to no gain for themselves. Keeping your auctions as transparent as possible will help with this.

But...he's not setting up any auctions here. He is asking for people interested in sponsoring auctions, to get those lined up for when he DOES start auctions...which is not now.

Personally, I MUCH prefer your lightning format Matt to the auctions that end 24 hours after the auction hits the funding goal. I like auctions that end the second that funding goal is hit. :)

Actually, he gets the URs in excess of the minimum. [EDIT it appears if I understand it correctly, that those go to the sponsor for the $508.]

100% correct. Jeff asked that we not start any auctions or get into any details until current orders are closed for the year. I wasn’t aware of it and broke the rule last year. I made it a point to cancel any scheduling and delete everything associated with the auction then waited until after TD announced the end of 2021 orders to do anything.

Actually, he gets the URs in excess of the minimum plus the GTs. It is a for-profit operation.


No he doesn't. I was one of the sponsor this year, and I got a GT out of it, as well as all of the random URs.

The Sponsor helps fund the auction by paying the difference of the cost of the 8K pack and the agreed upon funding amount and then receives all Random URs (9-10), any Golden Ticket included, as well as a video of the package opening to verify.

This was part of the earlier post. So not really accurate what you're saying here. I'd suspect his credit card gives some sort of cash back that covers some shipping costs though.
